Hakon is a famed warrior adored by his men, but merely the bastard son of the King of Jotunheim. As a threat to the succession, he’s sent away by his father to kill the ruler of the hostile Vanir.

When he enters the fortress of Saeborg disguised as his sister, supposedly sent to end their enmity through marriage, Hakon is prepared to die if it means taking the enemy ruler with him.

Handsome, cunning, and in possession of seier—the powerful battle magic reserved for women in the other realms—Prince Talvinen of Vanaheim is the kind of man feared and despised by the J?tnar. Talvinen has been obsessed with Hakon since he was a child, and he sees through Hakon’s disguise immediately.

Now a prisoner in an enemy realm, Hakon depends on Talvinen to survive and protect his sister. As they face threats both from within the Vanir court and the surrounding realms, Hakon’s loyalties are tested and his darkest desires tempted.

Can he survive, or will the young Vanir Prince be his undoing?
